Driving around France and Germany r veterans nee we got above the beach at Normandy, we rendezvoused at St. L6, but by then there was no town. We went to a flat place above the town site, where the engineers put out an airfield. (The engineers laid out airstrips everywhere we went.) Some officers were over supplies, some over solid fuel (coal), others over food, and so on. We drivers would take the officers where they were supposed to go, then bring them back. I might see the same officer twice, but that was about all. Quite often, I'd be given a pouch to deliver somewhere. As we went along, the British Brit-ish tank crews would pull off the road and have their tea. "Hi, Yank," they'd call out. "Come and have a spot of tea." They'd crawl under their tanks, have their spot of tea, then jump back in their tanks and off they'd go. As we moved along through France, displaced persons were moving one way, and we had quite a problem with them. Sometimes on the way back from the lines, I'd pick them up, though we weren't supposed to. I once picked up a one-legged Frenchman and his little daughter, who could speak English. I took them back as far as I was going, then let them off. Whenever I was in that area again, I'd bring them K rations.

In France, officers would be flown to Detachment No. 2, a major airport; then they'd be flown in a small airplane up to us, at Detachment No. 1. We'd have laid out a steel landing ramp and put up a windsock. We'd then take them to wherever wher-ever they were assigned. If it was in one of the back areas, we'd use a sedan. I drove a Packard, and when it had water pump problems, I was given a Chrysler, and when it had problems, a Plymouth, along with my jeep. When I went to the forward areas, it was always in my jeep. When we drove on the continent, con-tinent, we got word that the Germans were stringing wires across the road at head height (in combat we always drove with the windshield down, because otherwise it would reflect light, which enemy aircraft could see and then target). I knew how to weld, so I went to ordnance and said, "Hey, I've found a piece of angle iron 2 inches by 2 inches. inch-es. Can I weld it to my front bumper?" I made some little notches in it to catch the wire. I did hear a "ping" two or three times as I hit those wires. Also, when we went through a town, we first stopped and put the roof of the jeep up. There were no sidewalks in those towns. You stepped out of the front door and onto the street. The second floor and up extends out over the street. The enemy could stand on the second floor and drop a hand grenade 'Ditty fill 7fta6&t?

If it dropped in your jeep, it would be hard to find, whereas if it dropped on your roof, it would bounce off. Then you'd hear a "bang!" as you passed on, and that happened hap-pened to me a couple of times. I drove British, American and even some Russian officers. of-ficers. I got to know one Russian very well, though we couldn't understand each other by talking. We made ourselves understood through gestures. If the officers were lieutenants lieuten-ants or captains, quite often they would say to us, "Okay, pick me up tomorrow." I'd have to find my own place to get billeted and get food. By contrast, the majors, colonels and generals would ask, "Where does my driver go?" Then they would take me to where my billet was to be. There was that much difference dif-ference between junior and senior officers. The junior officers offi-cers were taking care of No. 1. The front line was a very fluid line. When we went to the war room, we'd be told, "This road is okay, that road is okay." Several times I'd be coming along and meet a roadblock. I'd be asked, "What are you doing on that side of the line?' "I was told this was our area," I'd reply. Then I'd be told we hadn't taken that area yet. Next week: Driving stories can be as exciting as combat stories. Some veterans may wish, on their own, to tape or digital record their memories of military service. These will be transcribed and archived. For instructions on how to do this, e-mail Don Norton, at donnortonbyu.edu. 'Pcitttfe& Hospital Income Benefits Long Term Care (LTC) Accident ikj |
